Sunday at the Market

Sunday dawned sunny and bright, a perfect day for a Mother's Day Craft Show~ except most everyone wanted to enjoy the sunshine and were decidedly not in the mood for shopping, even for their mother! It was the perfect promise of long hot summer days to come...oh, well...we had a fun day chatting among ourselves and I had time to make several pair of earrings!

There were a few interested shoppers and Dune Earrings proved to be a popular pair (must have been all that sunshine and call of the beach:)

I am always so inspired and interested when I see photos of people's displays and workspaces that I thought I might share a few of mine. My fondness for vintage 'junk' and a rustic casual look are evident in these fantastic old wooden crates, a tiny window shutter from the 60's, a white milk glass pitcher, vintage cut glass doorpulls and lots of burlap. I love creating my displays using these character filled pieces. My husband has been the handy dandy builder of my earring racks and the great stand alone barnboard piece in the corner. Anything that doesn't match, I paint green. Add some fresh flowers and great lighting and presto....ready to go!

So, at the moment, it's all in a heap in the basement. Yes, I can hear it calling...but I just started a great book and I'm sure there are new beads in the mail today...

Magnificient Monday!

Today is one of those amazing spring days that makes a person (me!) happy to just be alive and here to enjoy it! Our yard a carpet of lush green grass (that already needs to be mowed!)...the birches are sprouting leaf niblets and seed chandeliers dangling in the breeze...the forsythia is a bright blooming yellow against a cloudless pale blue sky...perfect baby lilacs have peeked out of their leaf nests...sunlight is dancing on the river and the robins are singing while they work, building their summer homes! Could it be any better than this?!
It was my plan to get organized after yesterday's craft sale at our local market...but I'm going to get some pansies and head for the garden instead!!!
We had a good day at the first Spring Market Craft Sale! In the past, it's only been held at Christmas. The bright spring weather and so many talented artisans and crafters drew a good crowd. Thanks to everyone who dropped by my booth to have a look, a chat or to make a purchase! You are all much appreciated!
